Initial analysis

The property at 1275-1277 7th Avenue in the Inner Sunset is a two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1911, currently owned by Andrew and Andrea B Ho. The building consists of three units and has undergone several significant renovations and maintenance work over the years, with the most substantial improvements occurring between 2006 and 2009. These improvements included a comprehensive kitchen and bathroom remodel in 2009 with energy-efficient lighting upgrades ($30,000), window replacements in 2006 ($10,400), termite repairs in 2005 ($13,000), and various infrastructure upgrades such as an electrical service upgrade from 60 to 90 amps with new lighting installations, and HVAC improvements including a furnace replacement.

The building's current status shows an active routine inspection of common areas filed in December 2018 by Housing Inspection Services. There have been several maintenance and code compliance issues noted through 311 calls in recent years, including a missing side sewer vent cover (2020 - open), construction equipment blocking parking space (2023 - resolved), and various street cleaning matters. While many past issues have been resolved, recent service requests indicate ongoing maintenance and compliance matters, particularly regarding street cleaning and exterior maintenance. The building's historical records show regular upkeep and improvements, with the most significant work being completed more than a decade ago, though some recent complaints suggest continued attention to exterior maintenance is required.

Risk rating

How 1275-1277 7Th Ave's risk score is calculated

We trained a model on 7 years of SF DBI inspection data — notice of violation filings, complaint history, and owner track records. It estimates the probability that DBI inspectors will issue a Notice of Violation at this address in the next 12 months. Lower % = safer.

What the score means for you

Grade A–B — Low risk

DBI rarely finds violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Grade C — Moderate risk

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Grade D–F — High risk

Elevated violation and complaint history. DBI has found issues here before and is statistically likely to again.
